sealed vs. ported

big fat japanese bus
right !
its all down to frequency response
a ported or bandpass box will be tuned to a certain frequency. It will sound really good at this frequency however it will slope off sharply. A sealed box will have a flatter response and not so severe a slope I tried both and far prefer sealed.
for all music a sealed sub will sound better but a ported one theoretically will be up to 3db louder.
Most subs are designed fir a specific enclosure.

No more clio's for me!
I've got a ported sub box + 12" sub - the air punch is immense at high bass levels **boom boom**!

I'm happy with it - i'm not a bass freek and the way i've got my system set up is for clarity not for how far away you can hear it. I do a serious amount of miles year and wanted something with a good bass level and clarity over the road/car noise. the ported box works best for me.
